Don't Look Back

from TERRA FILIA / SPACE by Stephen Bard

/

lyrics

There’s a river outside this cabin rolling through the woods
I figured heading north for mountain air might do some good
And it did ‘cause there’s a clarity I’ve never had before
I can see the road in front of me
I don’t look back no more

Let me be just like that river
Flowing right outside my door
And the sunrise will deliver me
I don’t look back no more

The past don’t owe me nothin’ and regrets just weigh a ton
What’s the use in stressin’ over somethin’ said and done?
I’m swinging in the moment and I’ll play it where it lands
The future’s still unwritten but the present’s in my hands

Not too much left here now to bank on
Still one thing I know for sure
Sister all has been forgiven
I don’t look back no more

Sunrise, deliver me
I’m a river to the sea
I’m a phoenix eagle flying
I’m a newborn baby crying
I’m the dawn of a new day rising over the line of a blue horizon
I’m the light from a distant sun
I’m a journey just begun
On my way and feeling fine
All I’m taking is what’s mine

I’m gonna be just like that river
Streaming onward evermore
And each sunrise will deliver me
I ain't looking back no more
Ain’t gonna be like my friend Edith when she left Sodom and Gomorrah
Wasn’t nobody’s fault
Woman just turned to salt
I ain’t looking back no more

Sunrise, deliver me
I’m a river to the sea
I’m a phoenix eagle flying
I’m a newborn baby crying
I’m the dawn of a new day rising over the line of a blue horizon
I’m the light from a distant sun
I’m a journey just begun
On my way and feeling fine
All I’m taking is what’s mine
